Abstract
In adult male C57BL/6 mice with high (HR) and low (LR) resistance to hypoxia, morphological features of colon tumors and blood parameters were evaluated 70 days after intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane and subsequent consumption of 3 cycles of dextran sulfate sodium. On macroscopic analysis, tumors were found in the distal colon in 35% (7 of 20 animals) of HR and 31% (4 of 13 animals) of LR animals. Microscopic analysis of the distal colon revealed tumors in 75% (15 of 20 animals) of HR and 69% (9 of 13 animals) of LR mice. The tumors were presented by areas of glandular intraepithelial neoplasia and adenocarcinomas; the incidence and the area of the tumors did not differ in groups of HR and LR mice. The number of neuroendocrine and goblet cells in the distal colon mucosa in the areas of tumors was similar in the compared groups. However, in both HR and LR mice of the experimental groups, the content of goblet cells in tumors was lower and the content of endocrine cells was higher than in the corresponding control groups. In the peripheral blood, the erythrocyte count and hemoglobin content decreased in HR and LR mice of the experimental groups; the relative number of monocytes increased only in HR mice and the absolute number of lymphocytes and monocytes decreased in LR mice. Thus, 70 days after azoxymethane administration and dextran sulfate sodium consumption, the tumors in mice were presented by glandular intraepithelial neoplasia and adenocarcinomas, and their incidence and area did not differ between animals with different tolerance to hypoxia.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
